Went last year and going again this year, in my opinion it's literally heaven on earth - everything about it is just pure brilliant

Only thing I'm kinda annoyed about this year are the subs, how Vampire Weekend, Jake Bugg and Macklmore can compare to System, Chase & Status and NIN is beyond me

Speaks volumes that NIN had more albums than all of this years subs put together. I do actually like VW and I don't mind Bugg but it was a poor choice of subs.

Jake Bugg will go down well with Arctic Monkeys on after and that will play a massive part. He might not have the status that bands like SOAD and NIN but it will work on the day.

That said I don't know how Macklemore & Ryan Lewis will be able to pull off a 60-75 minute sub slot and keep it interesting.
Yeah I'm fans of both too but it's just a little frustrating how week they seem compared to recent years

Surprised we haven't heard when another announcement is going to be by now.

This lad speaks the truth! Couldn't agree more! Especially with the first couple of sentences!!

They have confirmed that Jimmy Eat World are playing twice, it isn't an error on the poster.

Also I believe Papa Roach have self-confirmed.

Any sane rumours for thé remaining places on the main stages? Kind of hoping for an MGMT announcement or at least Tame Impala :crossedf:

I'm hoping for MGMT, not so much Tame because I'm already seeing them twice this year. MGMT would be great though

Seing Tame at Fishbury park? :wink: I would go, would love to see miles lane as well but I really dislike AM so I probably won't see Tame for a while; it's a day before my birthday as well, would've been magical :frown: I just had a terrible thought, Coldplay have a new album coming out... imagine.. :haughty:

Yeah mate, Finsbury Park! I'm mainly going for Tame and Royal Blood, but I like Miles Kane and Arctics as well.
Royal Blood would be sick, I'm seeing them at Glasto but it would be great if Leeds had them too.

I'll add the poster to the first page.

I'm guessing from the poster that letlive, Architects and Issues will be in Lock-Up/The Pit.

I don't know who the last Lock-Up headliner will be. :dontknow:

Is be surprised to see MGMT playing that far down the bill.

Personally I'm hoping for The Horrors on Sat main stage, which could well be possible.

Pretty confident that is legit.

Decent lineup, better than last years.
